Complexity, Maturity and Competency in the Project Risk Management Environment: A Relational Framework

Complexity, Maturity and Competency in the Project Risk Management Environment: A Relational Framework involving the Triple Helix Role Players

“…Purposive sampling was used firstly, by inviting six senior managers for personal, in-depth interviews and secondly, to invite a number of national and international project and risk management experts to verify and critique a checklist containing project risk management competency unit criteria that was generated from the literature review, interviews and web survey. Of the 23 possible respondents, nine experts provided their input in order for the checklist to be finalised (Naidoo, 2018).…”

“…This was done to verify, evaluate and critique the applicability of the different criteria in the project risk management environment. The objective was to ensure consistency of the collected data primarily with the idea to create a project risk management competency framework that followed after the sense-making framework discussed in the original doctoral research (Naidoo, 2018). The unit criteria confirmed by the experts were compared with the data sets from the personal interviews and the web-based survey.…”

“…The unit criteria confirmed by the experts were compared with the data sets from the personal interviews and the web-based survey. Commonalities between the unit criteria in the data sets were examined for inclusion in the project risk management competency framework (Naidoo, 2018).…”

“…The probability of a relationship between complexity, competency, maturity and project performance became apparent whilst researching the impact of uncertainty and risk within the project context (Naidoo, 2018). However, there seemed to be a gap in the literature with respect to knowledge on the interrelationship between complexity, maturity and competency in project risk management and the influence of such relationships on the performance of projects.…”

“…Figure 2 provides a depiction of the sense-making framework. Together with the findings from the data sets and the checklist, the the sense-making framework was used to generate a project risk management competency framework 2 (Naidoo, 2018). The sense-making framework was developed to create an understanding of the relationship between complexity, maturity and competency in the project risk management environment, which will contribute to project success.…”
